About the Grass Puffer
A small pufferfish of shallow coastal waters that gathers on gravel beaches to spawn. On the Murozumi Peninsula in Hikari, Yamaguchi, spawning occurs in early summer, a few days before the new or full moon. It begins two to three hours before high tide and ends before sunset. This coastal spawning ground is designated a Natural Monument of Yamaguchi Prefecture.
